Description
Concept of scifi rifle – Box-erLet’s make collection bigger. As I run my way I began prefer organic lines and design in my concepts. I found them more interesting and need some skills to model them. But a lot of people prefer “boxy” design, I know that. Boxy design has good features; they are easier and quicker modeled but they often look too “flat”. It could be a tricky to save in few boxes some believable structure and not to look flat or boring.
Ok. This is my try. Body has boxy style so I invested saved polys into scope. Colorization is between silver and white as I haven’t used it so far.
I did two perspective pictures and one tech drawing. (Each has resolution 1920x1080.)

Is it good or bad? Tnx for comments or critics if any.
Bye. Peterku.

Well the quality of the work is stunning. It is quite realistic while at the same time not being too overloaded with feature or complexity.
In terms of Realism for the weapon design itself I would say,if its a sci-fi rifle then it shouldn't be shooting Bullets.
In my imagination I would be seeing this gun shoot Golden semi-translucent pulses of energy (with a white center, and possible light-distortion around the edges), single shot at a time, which collided with opponents in a small explosion that knocked them back. The Magazine on the rear end - that's just a Charge Pack, which is obviously fed from that location just because it conveniently stows it out of the way.
The Muzzle of the gun doesn't appear to have a barrel sticking out of it. Instead it looks as we would expect it to for some kind of energy blaster - some kind of pulse generator or magnetic funnel on the front there which balances or emits the shot. Thus the text "hot zone".
Generally - A Boxy style of gun like this is only feasible as an Energy Weapon for the purposes of practicality. For a Ballistic firearm you want to cut down on the weight and size of the weapon as much as possible. But for an Energy Weapon you want to amplify the firepower of the weapon as much as possible - which means more coils or "guts" to the weapon, and a bigger muzzle on the end of it with which to shoot all of that energy out.
Either that or a Boxy Energy Weapon actually has like 2 or 3 beam emitters on it so that it stacks the firepower without overheating. A Boxy Gun handles this pretty well - making a stronger-than-average energy weapon but without scaling the overall size of it into the Heavy/Cannon range.
(do keep in mind that Penetration, for any kind of weapon, works best for FOCUSING as much energy into as Small of a space as possible - - stacking up 2 or 3 or 6 beam emitters or whatever does increase the power, but like a Shotgun it spreads that power out over a wider area. So while it does more Damage its also doing it at the expense of barely increasing its Penetration, while still using up X times as much energy per shot)
Ballistic Firearms only have a tall forward cross-section (read: Boxy shape) if they have 2 or 3 Barrels. Usually the result of having the Assault Rifle portion on top and a Grenade Launcher barrel on the bottom. Realistically speaking, adding anything else just makes the gun weigh more.

I have been inspired, simple looking rifle, looks like it would futuristic( not too distant future), maybe used by a cyborg or android (robot) army.

Most of the time I don't prefer boxy guns, but this is a really good exception. It must be a foldable and reliable gun that doesn't require much cleaning, since it can collapse into the size of a battery. At least, that's what I picture in my imagination. hehehe

The quality is fantastic. However, the feasibility of the weapon is lacking. The magazine that far back would be incredibly awkward and slow to reload in any kind of a combat situation. The front end is too heavy to maneuver quickly, even under the assumption of futuristic materials - the balancing is wrong. The stock may be too short to make proper use of the scope, and uncomfortable to hold. It seems almost too minimalistic in design, the forward gripping looks too "slick" to handle almost - not enough of a tactile texture.
The safety / fire selection is placed slightly too far forward to really be accessible by the trigger finger.
When a shooter has his/her trigger finger on the trigger, it's the very last part of the joint, typically not long enough on most shooters to reach that extra distance.
You indicate that it can fire grenades, but I do not see where those are loaded. If you had the dimensions of the weapon listed it would be helpful in terms of length, because by appearance, the front is long and the back rather short.

hi. you go too far in evaluation. I am just 3d fan. therefore I prefer sci-fi work caused there are not limits coming from real guns. its energy concept. no standart amo. it is beter seen here: [link]

Um, you do know that a number of current weapons, like the Steyr AUG have the magazine in the exact same place as this gun, right? The bullpup configuration is very feasible and has the advantage of producing a very short weapon.
